Subject: transition plan was Re: [pygame] contemplating move to bitbucket(and hg). what do you think?\
\
Hi,
\
I've started on a migration plan for bitbucket. If anyone has any feedback, please let me know :) \
\
They will be done in roughly the order written.\
\
\
# bitbucket url is https://bitbucket.org/pygame registered this already.
using our own hg.pygame.org domain is possible:
http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/BITBUCKET/Using+your+Own+Bitbucket+Domain+Name
# Adding contributors to the bitbucket repository.
will post a message on the mail list for people who want to be
added.
# issues,
No way to import bugzilla bugs into bitbucket issues? Need to check if this has been done before?
http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/BITBUCKET/Using+your+Bitbucket+Issue+Tracker there is an issues api
http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/BITBUCKET/Issues
# hg
import all of the history with the hg convert plugin.
http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/ConvertExtension
** Need author map, to convert pygame svn author usernames into
bitbucket user names for people who care.
email mailing list asking for bitbucket usernames of commiters.
the format needed is: 'First Last user@example.org'
will check an authormap file into svn.
what to do with branches, and trunk?
instead of a trunk the root should be the trunk.
# wiki
## uses 'creol' syntax. Will need to convert pages from html into
this format.
there is a html2creol converter here:
http://code.google.com/p/python-creole/ will keep current pygame wiki up, with links to new pages until
conversion is complete.
## Check with bitbucket if they have plans to support .rst soon.
## need to create mirror system to keep website up to date.
* on wiki change, download new data then convert from creol format into html.
# build page(spectacularly adequate). Will need to be updated to
take changes from hg instead of svn.
# old subversion.
delete files in trunk, and put a we_have_moved.txt file in there.
# ftp mirror system.
mirror download files from the bitbucket download page to the pygame
/ftp page.
need to think how the html page will be structured. Do we just list
all files on bitbucket? I think we just list all of the files
on bitbucket
download page, and group them by OS.
# update hacking page.
instructions on hg, and submitting patches. As well as writing
docs.
